Have you ever heard of the term Geographic Tongue? Although there are quite a few people who are diagnosed with this syndrome, not too many people have actually heard of this rather unusual term. Geographic Tongue is not an infection nor is it a disease, and usually goes away by itself within a few weeks or months. When Geographic Tongue is diagnosed, it means that the small bumps on the tongue are no longer there and instead there are various sizes of red patches that look somewhat like a map.
Although the reason is not known for why these bumps have temporarily disappeared, the condition is often passed down from generation to generation, making it hereditary. If you think you might have Geographic Tongue and need a Dentist in Aurora, be sure to give us a call to make an appointment today. Know that a Dentist in Aurora is someone who truly cares about your oral health!
